About
Emilie Haize is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing autonomous systems that enhance the quality of life for elderly populations. Her work bridges usability, accessibility, and long-term cohabitation, exploring how social robots can integrate seamlessly into daily home environments. In her most-cited study, "Perspectives on usability and accessibility of an autonomous humanoid robot living with elderly people" (2020, 43 citations), Haize conducted a groundbreaking seven-day, 24-hour trial where elderly participants lived with a social robot. This work provided critical insights into perceived utility, emotional acceptance, and practical barriers to adoption, offering concrete technological recommendations for future home integration. Her research is distinguished by its real-world, immersive methodology—capturing not just short-term reactions but the nuanced challenges of sustained human-robot cohabitation. Haize’s contributions are vital to the growing field of assistive robotics, informing designers and policymakers on how to make autonomous systems truly accessible and beneficial for aging populations. Her work continues to shape ethical and user-centered approaches to deploying robots in sensitive care contexts.
